Patented Dec. 15, 1908.

Application filed .Tuly 2 8, 1,908. Serial N o. 445,727.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be itfknown that I. 'lnonas R. WALLIS, a

citizen ofthev United States, and a resident of'Searcy. in the eonntvotl 'White and State ofArkansas. have invented a new and ImprovedIlow-lracc, ot' which the following -is a full. clear` and exactdescription.

'Ihe object ot` the invention is to provide a new and improved plowbrace, arranged to t'orm a` direct and exceedingly strong con-. nectionbetween the point ot' greatest pressure on the plowshare and mold-boardand the point directly opposite at the joint. of the standard and theland-side ot' the plow. thus offering' the `greatest resistance to theline of greatest strain the plow is subjected to during` its legitimateuse.

f The inventionconsists of novel .features and parts and combinations ofthe saine,

which will he. more t'nlly described herein# at'ter and thenpointed'onty in the claim.

A practical embodiment of theinvention is representei'l in the,accompany-ingg,` drawings forming a part'ot' this specification, inwhich similar. characters of reference indicatecorresptmding' parts inall the views.

Figure 1 an under side View of a plow provided with the improvement;Fig. 2 is'a cross section ot' the same on the line 2-2 ofFig. 1. andFig. 3 is an enlarged perspeetivel view ot' the brace.

,i The ordinary turning plow shown in F ig'. 1 and on which the braceisapplied, consist-s of the usual standard A. mold-board B, plowshareC.land-side D and handles E.' I. The braee F formed of a` single piece.ot' flat metal provided at its ends with angular flanges l1", F2, ofwhich the fla-nge F extends aeross the joint of the mold-board B andplowshare C and tits the inner faces thereof, the tlange- Ff 'beingsecured by a bolt G to the mold-board B and by a bolt G to ltheplo'wshare C. The flange F 2 is fastened by a bolt G2 to the lowerforward i; the stanrlardY A and l ing' tohold the lalid-siderI) inposition on Athe standard it being understood that another holt ti"isalso used :for con1'1eet,inl.f t land-side I) with each other. 4 y

By the arrangement described, the l'nfaee tornis a direct andexceedingly strong' connection between the point of greatest' pres--sure on the mold-board and plowshare and i a point directlyy oppositeatY the joint of the i standard A with the. land-side D. so that the 1brace utters the greatest. resistance to the line ot' greatest. strainthe plow is subjected to duringI its legitimate-use. j

lt will also be noticed that the plow brace can be readily applied tothe ordinary-turn ing' plow or the Snltzer wheel plow as now iconstructed. to render such plow exceedingly strongA and durable. l

Havingv thnsdescribed my invention, I Aclaim as new and desire to-secureby Letters .latent In a plow.I the combination of a. standard, a landside. a mold board. a sha.re,`and a l brace having angnlantlailges atits ends. one i ol the tianges extending' across the joint ot i the moldboard and share,'ai'1d fitting, the g inner l the lower end of thestandard.. the widest dimension of said brave being arranged subistantially vertial, and bolts for fasteningtithe flanges ,to'the moldboard, the share and they standard. the bolt cmniecting.r the brace withthe standard also traversing the land side. v A

In testimony7 whereof I have sig-ned my name to this specification inthe presence ot two snbscril'iing witnesses. i
